Is there any method that makes a user unable to return to the previous page?

I happen to have a contact form in which the person must complete and ready. It is not possible to return and fill again.

It’s like the browser tab creates a new section, or something like.

It is possible to make the option return to the previous page "blocked"?

This script will override attempts to navigate back and forth with the current page state.

history.pushState(null, null, document.URL);
window.addEventListener('popstate', function () {
    history.pushState(null, null, document.URL);
});

The pushState changes the referrer that is used in the HTTP header for Xmlhttprequest objects created after changing the state.

See more about.

Note that this code is not cross-browser, use for your responsibility.

UPDATING

The pushState method is compatible with

Chrome - 5 >
Firefox (Gecko) - 4.0 (2.0) >
Internet Explorer - 10 >
Opera - 11.50 >
Safari - 5.0 >

  • Is that code right? You said pushState, but the code is popstate.

  • Perfect! It worked! Thank you very much!

  • Which version of your browser and which browser ?

  • I am using Maxthon Cloud Browser, it has some incompactibility problem with some browser?
